What type of running shoes should I be looking at?
I run mostly outside on pavement or dirt/gravel, then occasionally on treadmills. I run about 2 to 3 miles / 6 days a week. Because I run outside should I look at trail shoes or go with a regular running shoe? Also, anyone have any suggestions on good brands to try?
some good brand running shoes and you should be good to go, simple and easy ;] you can try nike running shoes or pumas that are great aswell.
You should try Nike’s or Puma’s. I’ve worn both and like them both alot.
You should probably get running shoes.
Hope i helped!
if you are running on mostly pavement, treadmills, and solid packed dirt, stick with a road shoe. if you’ve never been properly fit for a running shoe, i suggest you go to a running specific store to get measured and fitted correctly. they can also tell you if you pronate or supinate (roll your foot in or out when you step) and what your arch height is. a good fit can make a HUGE difference, take it from me. I’ve been running for 10 + years and just recently was fit correctly, and the difference is amazing. anyway, i like asics but everyone’s different!
asics or newbalance
ive heard brooks are good if you live near one
oh by the way nike distance running shoes are terrible all of that nike shocks stuff is a load of crap and are just placed there to “look cool”
Mizuno has great running shoes. I have also used Asics in the past with good results.
asiacs shoes are good. also sucany are good to. make sure you pick a shoe that fits your foot well. <3
Well it not only matters what type of ground you run on it is also about what your feet need. First you must find out what your arch type is, wet your foot and then go and walk on pavement or concrete and then if there is a small line between your heel and feet pads that means you have a high arch, if there a slightly larger line you have a low arch and anywhere between there you have a medium arch then go to this link at runnersworld.com to determine your shoe type and what shoe is best for you: http://www.runnersworld.com/cda/shoelabshoefinder/1,7154,s6-240-325-329-0-0-0-0-0,00.html
I hope this helps it did for mean! Happy running!
. Definitly get running shoes,I like adidas and asics. Also, it really helps to go to a running store, so I would do that.
Sauconey
New balance
Asics
do some research and im sure you can find a running specialty store in your area. there they will put you on a treadmill, watch you run barefoot and they will give you a couple of different types of shoes that may work the best for you based on how you foot strikes the ground.
go and try on some of the shoes they give you and see which brand and model suits you the best. everyone’s foot is different so everyone has different preferences in shoes. i personally like new balance and asics, but hate nike shoes cuz they hurt my feet. but you may be the opposite.
